Exploring Document Contents with Commands

Which command builds an overview of document contents?

The command that builds an overview of document contents is the table of contents command.

Table of Contents Command

A table of contents (TOC) is a list of all of the headings, sections, and other important information in a document, typically organized by page number. It allows readers to easily navigate a lengthy document and quickly find the information they need.

There are different ways to create a table of contents, depending on the document type and software being used. In Microsoft Word, for example, you can generate a table of contents by applying heading styles to your document and then inserting a table of contents field. This field will automatically update as you make changes to your headings and content.

Other software, such as Adobe InDesign, may have different commands or methods for creating a table of contents. In general, though, the purpose of a table of contents is to provide a concise and organized overview of the document's contents, making it easier for readers to locate information and navigate through the document.

What is the outline command?

The "outline" command or function is a tool used in document processing software to generate a hierarchical overview or summary of the contents of a document.
